Want to keep your portable cold water ice cold or your hot coffee hot all day – and do something good for the planet? Now you can with S’well bottles. The S’well bottle is a stainless steel bottle that utilizes a new advancement in insulation, which keeps drinks cold or hot much longer than other bottles do. And, S’well has teamed up with WaterAid, a non-profit organization that for the past 30 years has been working to deliver water solutions to the world’s poorest communities. Every S’well bottle sold provides a year’s supply of water for someone in need; every five bottles sold provides a lifetime supply. Water is essential for life, but one billion people, one sixth of the world’s population, do not have safe access to it. To address this crisis, for every S’well bottle sold, 10 percent of the proceeds are donated to WaterAid.
“Just imagine,” says Sarah Kauss, originator of S’well, “forty billion working hours are spent carrying water each year in Africa. 443 million school days are lost each year to water related diseases. This year, WaterAid will reach 1.2 million people with safe water and 1.7 million people with sanitation.”
S’well water bottles are available in 7 hot colors. The S’well bottle is virtually unbreakable, much better for you than drinking from plastic bottles because it’s toxin-free and because it’s made of the highest quality stainless steel, drinks taste great. The first edition of the S’well bottle is engraved with the S’well motto and has space on the bottom to personalize with your name. The bottle holds 17 ounces of liquid and is designed with a large enough opening to fit ice cubes and to make it easy to clean.
Everyone knows it is healthy to drink more water. Our bodies are mostly made up of the stuff. And it is definitely healthy for the planet to reduce consumption of plastic bottles. It’s estimated that 50 billion plastic bottles of water are consumed each year in the US and over 200 billion bottles are consumed globally. Yet, even in this era of conservation of resources, fewer than 20 percent of plastic water bottles are recycled.
